IMHO, that is what usually happens when people talk first and act later.
Now... I truly do not understand... you feel you need a MOTION in order to have a dialogue with Randy? Why not just PM him and ask for a conversation with the Talkboard? Or to a private chat session with the Talkboard?

Why a formal motion just to have a "conversation"?

I had assumed this motion wanted him to change his mind... but the motion does not say that. Heck "reconsideration" could be interpreted as meaning "You should go back to 2004 and take back all posts not just going forward".
